Hobo Makes a Record Trip on Trucks!
NEW YORK. Tho fastest tramp trip
ever made on tho trucks of tho
transcontinental limited trains was
finished In Now York cltty recently
when Clarence Fields, of Snn Fran
cisco, Cal., alighted from tho trucks
of a Lackawanna flyer. Ho snld he
had to get to Now York In a hurry for
medical treatment. Ho was covered
with soot, cinders nnd Coal dust nnd
looked as if ho had been In 40 politi
cal cyclones. His eyes gleamed tri
umphantly through his mnsk of dirt
as ho told how, in spite of tho vigi
lance of trainmen, he had mado tho
const-to-coast trip in ono week nnd
thrco minutes flat.
"I was kicked off tho Santa Fo lim
ited at least 30 times," ho said. "Tho
first tlmo wus In tho Mojavo desort,
when I landed in two feet of alkali
dust. But as soon ns tho train start
ed 1 got aboard again In a dust storm.
Noxt time It was in the mountains.
I must have been kicked several miles
ahead, for whon I came to my sensos
wo had mado GO miles, nnd tho train
was well on toward tho Aztco coun
try. Tho speed was fearful down
those mountain grndes, but 1 never
lost my clutch until I was thrown off
by a brakeman.
"I thought I was 'all In when wd
reached Kansas City. But there 1 loft
tho Santa Fo nnd got between the
engine and bnggago car on whnt is
called tho now Wilmington lino. That
took mc to Chicago.
"Once during the trip I went with
out food for two long days. That was
a test of endurance. I won out. When
wo reached Newburg, on tho Hudson,
I had to leave tho express. Tho brake
man's boots wero 40 poundB heavier
thnn my physique called for, so I
stopped over night for tho first time
on tho trip. I went to the police sta
tlon and had a fine rest. Getting
aboard a fast coal train noxt day, I
pulled out. Whon I reached New
York I bent my way ncross tho ferry."

Road Settles Famous Sandwich Case

TOPBKA, Knn. A western railroad I
would not permit tho hunk ot hard
tack nnd picco cf hog hock, known ns
tho railroad enttng-houso sandwich, to
got Into tho Kansas courts, though It
had to pay well to keep It out.
, Last spring L. M. Couchmnn, a To
nnka traveling salesman, was riding
on n train toward homo. Tho train
stopped nt McFarland, .30 miles west
of Topoka, for dinner, but aa it was
to nrrlvo is Topoka only an Hour later
Coachman bethought himself to eat a
sandwich and then havo n good, nome
rooked menl with his wlfo In Topoka.
Ho walked Into tho lunchroom and
called for tho ham sandwich,
Tho pretty girl behlud tho counter

and 1mm supposedly, nnu mo travel

Tho plo was a wonderful Improve

lnrod him on tho platform and rnntrhiv
forced him to dlsgorgo 10 cents for

Tho big coffco trust, mado up of Brazilian
growers and American importers, has been trying
various tactics to boost tho prico of coffco and get
moro money from tho people.
Always thd man who is trying to dig extra
money out of tho public pocket, on a combination,
hates tho man who blocks tho game.
Now comes a plaintive bleat from the "exas
perated" ones.
Tho Journal of Commerce lately said: "A stir
ring circular has just been issued to tho coffee
trade' The article further says:
"Tho-coffco -world is discussing whatris to bo
tho future of coffee as a result of tho campaign
of raiseducation carried on by tho cereal coffee
people. Wo havo beforo us a letter from ono of
tho largest roasters in the South asking whnt can
bo dono to counteract tho work of tho enemies
of coffee.
"The matter should havo been taken up by
the Brazilian Gov't when they wero completing
their beautiful valorization scheme."
Then the article proceeds to do
nounce Postum and works into a
flno frenzy, because wo havo pub
lished facts regarding the effect ot
coffeo on somo peoplo.
The harrowing talo goes on.
"Whore a fow years ago every
body drank coffeo, sovoral cups a
day, now we find In ovory walk In
llfo people who Imagine they can
not drink It (Tho underscoring la
ours.) Burly blacksmiths, carpen
ters, laborers and athletes have dis
continued or cut down tho uso of
coffco; sb thoro Is not a person
who reads this and will not bo ablo
to find tho samo conditions existing
nmong his own clrclo of acquaint
ances, is it not well for tho Brazil
ians to sit up and tako notico?"
Isn't it curious theso "bur
ly" Btrong men Bhould pick out cof
feo to "Imagine" about? Why not
"Imnglno" that regular doses of
whiskey aro harmful, or dally slugs
ot morphlua?
If "Imagination" makes the caf
feine In coffee clog tho liver, do
press tho heart, and steadily tear
down tho noryouB system, bringing
on ono or moro ot tho dozens ot
types ot diseases Which follow
broken-down nervous systems,
many peoplo don't know It.
But It romalnod for the mnn who
has coffoo, morphlno or whlokey
to sell, to havo tho supremo nerve
to say: "You only imnglno your
disorders. Keep on buying (rom
mo.'
Let us continue to quote from his
article.
"Notwithstanding tho enormous
Increase in population during tho
past thrco years, coffee shows an
nppnlllng decrease In consumption."
Then follows a tiresome lot of
statistics which wind up by show
ing a decrease of consumption In
two years of. In round figures, two
hundred million pounds. .
Hero we seo tho cause for the at
tacks on us and the Brazilian
encors at Americans who prefer to
uso a healthful, homo-mado break
fast drink and Incidentally keep the
money In America, rather than
cond the millions to Brazil and pay
for an article that chemists class
among tho drugs' and not nmong
tho foods.
Will the reader ploaso remem
ber, wo never announco that coffee
"hurto all peoplo."
Somo persons seem to have ex
cess vitality enough to use coffee,
tobacco and whiskey for years and
apparently bo none tbo worso, but
the number Is small, and when a
senslblo man or woman finds an ar
ticle acts harmfully they exercise
somo degree of Intelligence by
dropping it.
We quote ngaln from tho article;
"Theso figures aro paralyzing
but correct, bolng taken from
Lcoch's statistics, recognized as
tho most reliable"
This Is ono of the highest com
pliments ever paid to the lovol-hoad-od,
common sense of Americans
who cut off about two hundred mil
lion poundB of coffeo whon they
found by actual experiment (in tho
majority ot cases) that the subtle
